Well... according to packages.debian.org, dict-moby-thesaurus only exists in oldstable and oldoldstable. So, Debian 9 and 10. <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dict-moby-thesaurus> shows the dates it was removed from unstable and from testing. <https://tracker.debian.org/news/1161371/removed-10-64-from-unstable/> shows that it was removed because: RoQA; dead upstream (10+ years); python2-only; no extrenal deps; extremely low popcon
